How do we define beauty? What is beautiful? These are aesthetics questions. Is it right to draw graffiti on the Pharaoh tomb or to plunder/steal Babylonian treasures in Bagdad? These are ethical questions related to moral and social behaviour. Are Ethics and Aesthetics one? These are some of the questions this course will try to answer. The aims is to give a large array of possible reflections and discussions related to Ethics and Aesthetics and see how it concerns all aspects of our life. It will begin with a historical background (Plato; Kant;Hegel) before approaching different theories and concepts of ethics and aesthetics such as religion, postmodernism, arts, social/sciences, Otherness etc… and studying notions like, morality, authenticity and forgiveness. 我們如何定義「美」的概念？何謂「美」？這些都是與美學相關的疑問。至於在法老墓塗鴉以及掠奪、盜取位於巴格達的巴比倫寶藏之正當性，則是與道德及社會行為相關的倫理學議題。那麼，倫理學與美學可否相提並論？這些都是本課程將試圖探討的部分問題。本課程旨在增廣倫理學與美學的思考以及討論範圍，並研究此類議題是如何涉及我們生活的各個層面。本課程將從歷史背景開始（柏拉圖、康德、黑格爾），延伸至不同的倫理學與美學理論概念，如宗教、後現代、藝術、社會／科學、他者等範疇，並研究如道德、本真，以及寬恕等觀點。
